Art and Other Creative Therapies
Experience the profound connection with your inner self and body as we delve into the transformative sensorimotor practices of Guided Drawing, Clayfield and the use of music and sound.
“The spontaneous movement in all of us is toward connection, health, and aliveness. No matter how withdrawn and isolated we have become or how serious the trauma we have experienced, on the deepest level, just as a plant spontaneously moves towards sunlight, there is in each of us and impulse moving toward connection and healing.” ~Aline LaPierre & Lawrence Heller
Creative art practices, developed by experts like Cornelia Elbrecht, Johanne Hamel and Cathy Malchiodi, are highly effective in addressing the impacts of trauma and navigating challenging life experiences that have left their imprint.
We can access inner subjective sensations and the emotions within these sensations through art therapy exercises. Through this work it’s possible to gain access to right brain memory of traumatic experiences implicated in the perpetuation of some traumatic reactions, and facilitate communication of these experiences either verbally or through our body working with the clay, for example.
See my About page for training and certification details.
Whether you’re navigating trauma or seeking support for challenging experiences, these creative practices can offer support on the path towards healing and meaning-making in your life.
